New Disability Champion for Kingston

published by Kingston Council published on 03 December 2018

Kingston Council has appointed a new Disability Champion to coincide with the International Day of Disabled Persons (3 December).

Councillor Christine Stuart, who is a ward councillor for Chessington South, will be taking on the role to be an advocate for children, young people and adults with disabilities who live in the borough.

Cllr Christine Stuart, said:

“It is an honour having been chosen to champion this cause. I understand the many challenges that those with disabilities and their families face, and I believe it is our responsibility to make sure that they have a say in decisions which affect them.

“People with disabilities, their families and carers will benefit from more flexible, integrated and responsive services, empowering people to remain as independent as possible by accessing the right level and type of support when they need it.”

The champion role supports the objectives of Kingston’s first joint health and social care All Age Learning Disabilities strategy that was jointly developed by the Council, Kingston Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), Achieving for Children (AfC) and Your Healthcare. The strategy was approved at Children's & Adults Care & Education Committee in November this year.

Cllr Liz Green, Leader of Kingston Council, said:

“Thank you to everyone who contributed to creating this strategy. Together we have created a vision for the future. Now working together, we must all deliver the vision.

“Cllr Stuart will be working with our disabled communities and relevant local groups to further understand the needs and ensure that their voices are represented in how we shape services.”

The appointment will be confirmed at Full Council on 11 December.

Chatbot Information

About this chatbot
A chatbot is a computer program that processes written conversation, allowing humans to interact with digital devices as if they were communicating with a real person. The chatbot can only respond to questions it has been programmed to answer.

The Chatbot is currently in Beta mode, this means that the chatbot is not fully complete. This is the phase where real website users trial the chatbot and uncover any issues that require fixing before the chatbot can go fully live. We will continually review the questions that website users are asking the chatbot to ensure that we programme the chatbot with additional information.

When talking to the chatbot, we recommend you:

Ask questions related to information that resides on the Local Offer website.

Ask questions in full sentences, rather than just using single search terms.

Do not share your personal information.

Download and save the chat if there is information you would like to come back to later (the chat will automatically be deleted after 30 minutes of inactivity).

We are really keen to hear any comments and thoughts you might have about the chatbot, so if you would like to send us some feedback then please complete our online form.

Your PrivacyWe will not collect any personal information about you while using the chatbot. We may use your conversation history e.g. any manually inputted text and responses to questions from the chatbot, feedback ratings and comments you have made in the chat. ​
